IMPORTANT INFO!!
Did you know???? CDC (CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL)
STUDIES INDICATE THAT EVERY 11 SECONDS SOMEONE CONTRACTS HIV/AIDS.
69% of new HIV/AIDS cases are reported by AFRICAN AMERICAN women and girls.

DID you know that African American women and women of color are
less likely to insist that a partner(s) use condoms, AND THAT heterosexual
women are contacting HIV/AIDS from bi-sexual or DOWN LOW males who do not consider themselves to be "gay", and so neglect to inform their FEMALE partners!!?

WAKE UP!... THE "REPORTED" CASES OF HIV/AIDS REPRESENT ONLY 10%, (OR simply
THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG) IN REGARDS TO ACTUAL CASES RUNNING RAMPANT
IN THE SEXUALLY ACTIVE POPULATION TODAY!

WE SERVE African American Women and women of color with a focus on personal,
social, cultural and entrepreneurial development AND empowerment via
information, a NEWLETTER, a RESOURCES DIRECTORY, workshops, classes,
INVESTMENT/RETIREMENT PLANNING BOOT CAMPS, and by ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!!

For the last 8 years we've issued a critical challenge to all takers!!

Address the following:

What excuses do you use that enable you to under-achieve your God given potential, those gifts and talents you possess but refuse to use fully?

If you are GUILTY you know that you do just enough to "get by". You also KNOW why you do just enough to get by!!

BE TRUTHFUL, IT IS WHAT IT IS!

The other CRITICAL CHALLENGE? TO BE "FOR REAL" AND ACKNOWLEDGE the fact that -IF you engage in sex with multiple partners, or with someone who has multiple partners, the question is WHY IN THE WORLD DO YOU PLACE YOURSELF HIGHLY AT RISK FOR CONTRACTING HIV/AIDS??? THE STATISTICS REPRESENT ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. THE FIGURES REPRESENT ONLY TEN PERCENT OF THE EXTENT TO WHICH HIV/AIDS RUNS RAMPANT IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THE REPORTED FIGURES REPRESENT REPORTED CASES - NOT THE UNDIAGNOSED CASES, OR THE CASES OF "CARRIERS" WHO ARE AFRAID TO BE TESTED, OR THOSE INFECTED WITH THE VIRUS BUT WHO HAVE NO SYMPTOMS, OR CASES WHERE THE VIRUS TAKES 10 YEARS TO SURFACE!!!

UNDERSTAND THIS...THE "REPORTED" CASES OF HIV/AIDS EQUAL JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, IN RELATIONSHIP TO ACTUAL HIV/AIDS CASES RUNNING RAMPANT IN A SEXUALLY ACTIVE POPULATION!

1. ENGAGE IN UNPROTECTED SEX WITH A PARTNER THAT ENGAGES IN UNPROTECTED SEX WITH
OTHERS WHO ENGAGE IN UNPROTECTED SEX...

2. SHARE NEEDLES FOR INJECTING DRUGS, OR ENGAGE IN UNPROTECTED SEX WITH WITH SOMEONE
WHO SHARES NEEDLES FOR INJECTING DRUGS

3. IGNORE THE SIGNS THAT YOUR PARTNER MAY BE ON THE "DOWN LOW".

****** BE PRO ACTIVE, AND GET YOURSELF TESTED!!!******
